INVEST IN OUR COMMUNITY

Sponsorship opportunities are available for a variety of programs and events at Sherman Lake YMCA Outdoor Center. Sponsorships underwrite the costs of fundraising and community events to direct event revenue to the area of most need and keep participation fees accessible. Sponsorships also offer companies a way to highlight their support of community activities.

Sponsorship opportunities start at $250 and include varying levels of sponsor recognition. Below are summaries of our current opportunities. For a complete listing of Sherman Lake YMCA’s sponsorship opportunities, click here.

For information on any of these sponsorship opportunities, please contact Carrie Hybels at carrieh@ymcasl.org or 269.731.3039.
